Mingle Monday (*NEW* blog hop layout!)

Welcome to Mingle Monday remix! Due to the popularity of the fabulous Mingle party, I've looked into several new fun options to spice this up! I've been inspired by several great blog hops, including one of my favorite weekend hops at Lady Bloggers, and thought we should try out a new format!

Are you ready to gain new followers and discover several new blogs? Well, grab a delicious cup of coffee and let's get mingling!

How to enter the party:

2) Scroll down to the bottom of this blog and click on the link to enter.

3) Add a cute picture and your blog's name.

4) Voila! You're ready to mingle!

2) Leave them a comment saying hello from the [Life of Meg] Mingle Monday.

3) Come back and leave a short encouraging review of the 2 blogs you visited!

**BONUS**

Just like a usual Mingle Monday, anyone who posts about the [Life of Meg] Mingle Monday will be in the running to be one of my top weekly reads. I will choose up to 3 blogs at random and give an amazing recommendation to all of my lovely [Life of Meg] readers... meaning lots of new followers for YOU!

today I checked out "O. is Me" and "The Kimchee Chronicles" and am now following both!

O is Me is funny and she has some interesting topics, such as "Billboard Lolz" which had me cracking up and her "Hair Mantra" which has me wanting to purchase some new hair products haha. Oh, and Happy One-Year Anniversary to Meg O. and her hubby!!!

The Kimchee Chronicles is funny and real. She has a super cute Etsy shop, too! And I love her idea of having a video of the week on her blog and her background/layout is sweet! :)

Just visited 2bloggeristas & The Sweet Simple Life and am now following them both!

I love the two perspectives of the bloggeristas, and can especially relate to Allison because my own husband is in law school. Just a fun & fresh blog that I hope to visit regularly!

The Sweet Simple Life had up pictures of her newly adopted puppy, which to me is an unfair advantage! Haha, but she seems like such a doll of a person and seems pretty fresh to the blogging world, so I know I'll enjoy watching her blog progress!

Loved both these blogs, but will continue to check back and visit more throughout the day. Thanks Meg!

This is my first Mingle Monday and I am so happy to be a part of it! Thank you so much for hosting this! I also might add that I adore your name! ;) Anyway, I've checked out most of these blogs and they all are wonderful but here are my two!

1. This Freckled Lemonade - First of all, that was SO sweet what she wrote about me in her comment! Thank you so much, Lacey! I absolutely adore her blog. Her cartoons, captions. I was LOL-ing at her story of how she got a certain scar and even the censored sign over her 'bloody part'. LOVE IT! Totally looking forward to reading more.

2. The Kimchee Chronicles - I love her random-ness of her blog. I am into someone who loves to blog about the crazy things in their life. I'm all about humor. Also, a crazy '80s prom dress and a picture of Borat in the same blog post = amazing.

Today I visited "Freckles and Fudge" and "Chloe". I love both of these blogs because of their wonderful use of pictures throughout their posts. I'm a sucker for looking at pictures instead of huge amounts of text at one time and both these ladies do it very well.

Specifically I love the blog name of "Freckles and Fudge"... how unique! And I love Chloe's header, so sweet and filled with love.

What a great idea! This is my first time participating, so I hope I'm doing this all correctly :)

Today I checked out http://www.poodleism.com/ which had an awesome write-up of a recent Lady Gaga show as well as a description of the cast of characters you can expect to find there. If I wasn't intrigued enough before about attending one of her shows, the picture of a male bride with a wedding cake hat may have just sealed the deal.

I also stopped by http://simple-sweetlife.blogspot.com/ which features a post on the day in the life of a puppy and... OMG, just go over there now and read it. It's so stinkin' cute and makes me think of my dog (who lives with my parents) and how much I can't wait to give him a big SQUEEEEEZE. The pictures and captions are fabulous.

my pixie blog - I read it once and followed, even though it's for single women... just because I really like her writing and I particularly agreed with her latest blog about NOT SETTLING in relationships. I may have to email-blast that one.

thanksforthatinfo - i absolutely could not not comment on a blog with the word "bbq" (is it a word?) a mention of playing touch football, AND pics of pastries I wish I could eat, right now. win.

I'm being a naughty Mingle Monday participant - Sorry Meg! I was all prepared to come home from an appointment and check out some blogs - I've come home feeling like a train wreck so I want to say thanks for all the nice comments about our blog above and I'll be back tomorrow to follow everyone back and write something as I really do like to read all the blogs! =)

Freckles and Fudge - First of all I love how clean her layout it! Her latest blog has some great photos of the beach, and made me a bit jealous that I haven't been in a while!

Making the most of Megan- Megan is taking advantage of her free time by getting creative and doing some DIY room makeover-ing. Between the layout and the pics of her projects, I can tell she is a crafty woman!

I first went to Eat, Love, Laugh. I'm a foodie so I know I will love her blog! Her key lime pie cupcakes love amazing! I also can't wait to try her Cookies and Cream cupcakes too! I'm a follower of her blog now and will probably gain 15 pounds in doing so :)

The second blog that I visited was The Simple Sweet Life. I am IN LOVE with her new puppy! My love just got a lab puppy a 14 weeks ago so I know that she is just smitten with little Ollie. Its a coincidence too...my bf's dog is named Opie! Kinda close... I'm a follower of her blog also! :) I can't wait to see the little fellow grow in the coming weeks!

- Poodleism - love the fun feel the blog has and I'm a sucker for anything referring to poodles as my yorki-poo sits on my lap and helps me blog (she would be pleased with this pick!) ;-) Loved her entertaining posts!

- Tryin' to throw my arms around the world - I related to one of the topics she mentioned and you can tell she puts a lot of time into her posts.

Also checked out: - The Kimchee Chronicles (very cute and fun blog) and Thanks for That Info Aimee!

I enjoyed reading their posts! Can't wait to read more from all the blogs!
